THE ELECTION OF THE FUTURE.

When the right Of suffrage is finally
given to women and they both vote and
hold office, we may expect to hear tan
didates for offices size up women at the
polls.
"Who are you going to vote for,
Bessie ~
ooh, really don't know. But don't
you think it's just perfectly lovely for
US to have tho right to vote at oil p
"Oh, it's too awfully jolly for any
thing. But do you know | was just
worried to death for fear Madame Fit
ten wouldn't have my dress done in time
for election day.
But she did, see; and it's just love-
ly. ] was worried awfully over my
election bonnet, but it came at the last
moment or wouldn't have come near
the polls Are you going to vote for
Mamie Berkeley for city treasurer ?"
mo, I'm not; we've been out for
long time, and think she is just hor-
rid"
~ think SO too she dresses away
beyond her means now, and there'd DO
no living in tho same town with her IL
she was city treasurer. What do you
think Of Mrs. 81. John for mayor. ~
"Oh, | think she'd be lovely. She
has such queenly manner and dresses
in such perfect taste but most Of the
girls are voting for Howard Percy for
mayor; he's so handsome, you know"
"Oh, yes; but then he's so conceited,
and such dreadful hirt He's engaged
himself to half the girls in town just to
secure their votes"
'The mean, horrid thing"
"Wbat do you think of Mrs Ranter
for Congress p
II think she'd better stay at home
and look after her children. There's
six or seven Of them running around
here now peddling out her tickets. DO
toll me, jamie, are my frizzes all CON-
ing out
"No, thcy look nice. How are mine ?"
Lovely your hair does frizz so beau
tiful. Look at Mr.. Meeks electioneer-
ing for his wife for representative.
They say if she's elected she's going to
leave her six weeks old baby at home
with him while she goes to the capital
for legislative session"
Think of IL And won't she dress,
though. Id vote for Hugh Vaudeville.
but they say he's engaged to Holon
Smythc, and can't endure her. She's
around here some place trying to get
the other girls to vote for Hugh"
81 call that cheeky. But | shan't
vote for him. Margie Montague is my
candidate. She's going to invite me to
Washington if she's elected"
"IIow lovely that will be. I've half
a mind to vote for Margie myself. Do
you know, Belle Fielding and Libbio
Lavile have had m awful quarrel over
the Office of city councilman y
mo How perfectly dreadful"
"Isn't IL? Libbie accused Belle Of
buying up votes with French bon-bons
and boxes Of kid gloves and Belle told
right out before everybody that eight Of
Libbie's upper teeth were false aud that
her lovely waves are not her own hair"
How mean Of Belle. IL was Libbio
I'd never forgive her. I intended voting
for Belle, but | shan't now. | cannot
conscientiously vote for a girl who de-
liberately gives another girl way ia that
shameful manner. It's a mercy she
didn't know all know about Libbie, or
the poor girl might have been mortified
clear out Of the campaign. Ishall scrach
Belle"
"pvo scratched about everybody on
my ticket"
80 have I. Most Of the girls run
ming for Office are SO horrid,"
$50 they are"
